Rules for adopting a retired breeder.
1. No shipping! You must pick up your retired poodle up in person. We are located in northern New Mexico.
2. You must be willing to let me get to know you. These retired poodles are my babies who have given much to me over the years and I am
determined to make sure that they go to the best homes.
3. You MUST be willing to stay in touch with me once the retired poodle has been transferred to you. Again, this is my baby and I will always be
concerned for their welfare, so be prepared that I will be contacting you often for updates.
3. Retired poodles are crate, leash, dog door and potty trained. But you must understand that potty trained in my home (particularly where I
have a dog door) may be somewhat different in a new home with new rules, especially if you don't have a dog door...so you must be
prepared to teach your poodle what your rules are concerning potty training. If you expect to get a poodle that won't have ANY accidents
while learning new rules in a new environment then get a stuffed toy.
4. Your retired poodle will be spayed or neutered BEFORE transferring ownership unless prior arrangements are made.
5. Your retired poodle has been healthy the whole time they have lived with me...they will have a check up at the vet before transferring
ownership and you will be informed of any potential health issues but retired poodles do not come with any health guarantee.
6. Retired poodles are adopted without AKC registration papers.
7. Priority will be given to people who fill out the application. http://www.dreamtimepartipoodles.com/contact-us---puppy-application.html

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN ADOPTING AN ADULT DOG
Puppies typically adjust to a new home very quickly, some adult dogs will also adjust quickly but some may not. Here are some important things to remember when bringing an adult dog into your home.
Phase 1 - Initially your new family member may be confused and frightened. They have just left what they considered to be their home and family and don't understand yet that you are their new family. While this isn't true of all adult dogs, some may startle easily, may want to try and hide or avoid you. They may refuse to eat and may not understand where you want them to potty. This initial phase can last anywhere up to 2 or 3 weeks. Don't panic or get upset, they need time to destress and get used to you and your rules and routine. Most of all be patient and calm with them, give them space if they want it and try to maintain as regular a routine as you can.
Phase 2 - Your new baby is starting to settle in and has mostly gotten a handle on your rules and routine and has become familiar with the new environment. They are starting to bond with you and other family members and are more comfortable with being in your home. They are relaxing enough to start showing their true personality. This phase can last up to several months.
Phase 3 - Your buddy is now completely settled in and comfortable in your home, they have gained a sense of security in being a member of the family and have built a strong bond with you. They have internalized your rules and routine and know what is expected of them and what to expect of you. This phase will last for the rest of your 4 legged friend's life!
